RE: Enticing Eggplant Steaks

[Guest guest]

Alternate eggplant preparation:

I make an eggplant dish frequently for which the original recipe called for

doing the same thing: salting, sitting, rinsing, drying -- I skip all that

now! Just peel the eggplant, slice it (~ 1/2 inch), place on a sprayed

baking sheet, and broil about 10 " from the heating element for about 5 min

(watch carefully, they can burn quickly). When brown, turn and broil the

other side for about half the time.

This makes the eggplant soft and ready for any further recipe. I've never

noticed any bitterness, but I love eggplant!

Enticing Eggplant " Steaks "

 

Enticing Eggplant " Steaks "

 

2 small eggplants

1 tsp. salt

3 Tbsp. olive oil

1/2 tsp. hot sauce

1 clove garlic, minced

1 Tbsp. balsamic vinegar

1 tsp. minced fresh parsley

1/3 tsp. dried rosemary

Salt and pepper to taste

 

Remove the stem ends from the eggplants and cut off enough of the skin

to

square the sides. Slice each eggplant lengthwise into two pieces, each

approximately 1/2-inch thick. Sprinkle 1 tsp. salt evenly over the

slices and

place in a bowl for about 20 minutes to draw out the bitterness. Rinse

the

eggplant well and pat dry.

 

Heat the oven to 350 degrees F. In a small bowl, stir together 2 Tbsp.

of the

oil and the hot sauce. Brush evenly over both sides of the eggplant

slices.

Bake on a baking sheet for 15 minutes, turning over once. Then broil for

1

minute per side or until the slices are well browned and tender.

 

In a small bowl, stir together the remaining oil, garlic, vinegar,

parsley,

and rosemary. Brush on the cooked eggplant and season with salt and

pepper.

Let stand for 5 minutes before serving.

 

Makes 4 servings.
